Questions about CCU and NAT punch through

BOLT is great. I am able to build a multiple VR POC around a week’s time. It is fantastic. However, before I go further on this path. I would love to clarify a couple questions about the pricing first.
1. What contribute to the success/failing rate of NAT punch through? Router? Upnp? Or what? I actually getting 100% fail rate and always rely on relay. I am using a linksys dual band router and then a google wifi. Does this 2 routers setup make pouch fail?
2. Since CCU is one of the main factor on costing, I would like to understand more on when it is counted towards a CCU, especially which method call it will start counting.
2.1 if it will be counted as a CCU, just simply after startserver or startclient is called?
2.2 Or if it is only counted after a client joined a room?
2.3 if a host started a game using loadscene, but no client joined (single player), will it counted into CCU?
Thanks. This questions are critical to my game design. Thanks in advance, appreciated.

1) Bolt uses STUN punching for the Photon Cloud integration. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STUN#Limitations
2) If you start Bolt in "single player mode", CCU is not counted. I don't remember the specifics beyond that off the top of my head.0
